Topical Tropes

These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.

This game got mixed reviews from critics with half of them criticising the game's combat for not being like Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance as well as criticising the story for being difficult to follow. Fan reaction was much more positive towards gameplay, and many felt that it good spiritual successor to the themes of Killer 7, and the play style of No More Heroes. The only thing gamers, fans, and critics can agree on is that the game is short.

The game's Gigolo Mode has caused controversy among professional critics, with a lot of them calling it 'perverted' and some saying the game would kill Suda's career. Fans, however, did not find it offensive (in fact many found the controversy overblown), but they didn't think it was all that special either.

It's also a case of Values Dissonance, as the game has received higher ratings in Japan compared to the US so far.

Fashion-Victim Villain: David apparently decided that being stark naked save for gold jewelery glued to the bare essentials is a good enough outfit. At least he wears a robe over it. Then he takes it off for the boss fight-AUGH AUGH AUGH.note The gold and naked figure might be a reference to Hindu gods.

Game Breaker: The Charge Cannon, full stop. You have to do one of the Gigolo missions a second time for it, but when you can obliterate Elite Mooks in one shot, it makes it far more than worth it.
